Do you really?

AIUI, Will Crowther wrote a plain simulation of exploring the Mammoth Cave
system for his children.  It was simply called "Colossal Cave" (one of the many
chambers in the system).

"ADVENTURE" is an offshoot of Crowther's program done by Don Woods at SAIL,
which added all of the fantasy elements and (I think) improved the parser a
bit.

So nothing by Crowther was called "Adventure"...
